Based on SIAM data for July-September 2026, reported by Autocar Professional on 15 October 2026. Summarised in our own words.
SIAM's report for the second quarter of FY2026-27 shows exports of Indian-made vehicles moved in different directions.
Exports by segment
- Two-wheelers: 16.5 lakh units, up 27.7%
- Three-wheelers: 1.6 lakh units, up 30.4%
- Commercial vehicles: over 41,000 units, up 72.5%
- Passenger vehicles: 2.29 lakh units, down 5.2%
Production
September 2026 production of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers and quadricycles was 34,52,554 units. In July to September it was 1,05,57,400, and for April to September 2026 it was 1,99,46,193.
What it means
Factories in India are building for other countries too, and those factories hire machine operators, assembly workers, quality inspectors and logistics staff. The source does not give a reason for the fall in car exports, so we do not guess one.
SIAM President Shenu Agarwal said the industry delivered a strong first half of the financial year.
